The Empowering Parents Podcast - Child Behavior Help The Total Transformation Way

As soon as you knew you were having children, you probably began to dream about who they were going to be. But then reality sets in and you end up with a child that is different from what you expected. Understanding and accepting this is one of the keys to effective parenting and managing behavior.

Kids often use violence to deal with frustration, disappointment, and anger. It’s how they solve these problems. And it’s how they gain power in the home. Here's what you can do when your child or teen gets violent.

Eye rolling, curses, insults, backtalk, name-calling, ignored requests, snide comments: disrespect from your child or teen comes in many different forms. In today's episode, Kimball Lewis, CEO of EmpoweringParents.com, talks about what to do (and not to do) when your child is being disrespectful. Special bonus: Listen to James Lehman talk about disrespect in The Total Transformation® program.

You usually can’t end an argument—or make a child do something—by trying to make them understand and agree with you. The fact is, most of the time they don’t understand you. They’re going to see things differently. Children and adults have different perspectives. Parents can spend a lot of time and energy trying to make a child accept their logic. And it’s just not going to happen. Includes special bonus message from James Lehman.

Parenting is hard. Parenting a difficult child is especially hard, and it's devastating to watch your child make bad decisions and head down the wrong path. In this episode, we address the heartbreaking and understandable question that many parents ask us: "Will my kid be messed up forever?"
